About Me

Visiterò l'Italia per tutto luglio, principalmente a Napoli e Toscana, ma anche tempo flessibilie. Sto facendo del mio meglio per assorbire più italiano possibile, ma al momento è roba da principianti. Parlo fluentemente spagnolo e ho già avuto una conversazione in italiano con lo spagnolo.

Sono un'insegnante di scuola elementare che spera di trovare un po' di lentezza durante l'estate, forse imparare a cucinare senza una ricetta.

Mi piacciono i gatti randagi, andare in bici in discesa, camminare in salita, l'entusiasmo, assaporare le ultime pagine di un buon libro e scrivere lettere i miei amici. Adoro ascoltare le storie degli altre persone :)

My name is Paul, and I'm 32. I'm visiting Italy for all of July and August mostly in Tuscany & Napoli, but with a little wiggle roo, too. I'm doing my very best to absorb as much Italian as I can, but it's beginner's stuff at the moment. I do speak fluent Spanish, and I've got through a conversation in Italian before with Spanish.

I'm an elementary school teacher hoping to find a slowness in the summertime, perhaps learn how to cook without a recipe.

I like stray cats, biking downhill, walking uphill, enthusiasm, savoring the last pages of a good book, writing letters.
